杰夫·贝佐斯永远都把他认为的高智商会议安排在上午十点钟 – 如果之后再有什么事情出现的话，就等明天再说
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is rather particular about scheduling meetings.
亚马逊的首席执行官杰夫·贝佐斯对安排会议颇为挑剔。
He famously popularized the “two pizza” meeting rule, which holds that you should generally avoid meetings so large that two pizza pies wouldn’t be enough to feed the entire group.
他有一个非常出名的的规定，就是“两张比萨”的会议规则，该规则认为，你应该尽可能避免组织那种参加人太多的会议，两张比萨饼都喂不饱参加会议的人的那种。
When Bezos spoke Thursday night at a dinner with Economic Club of Washington, DC, he threw out a few more scheduling guidelines.
星期四晚上，贝佐斯在华盛顿特区经济俱乐部举行的晚宴上发表讲话时，他提出了一些有关时间安排的方法。
The Amazon CEO avoids attending meetings first thing in the morning. Business Insider previously reported that he likes to eat breakfast with his wife Mackenzie and their children.
亚马逊首席执行官会避免早上第一件事就开会。Business Insider 此前报道说，他喜欢和妻子Mackenzie和他们的孩子们一起吃早餐。
Bezos instead slots his top-priority meetings between 10 a.m. and noon.
贝佐斯会把他认为重要的会议安排在上午10点到12点之间。
“I do my high-IQ meetings before lunch,” he said, according to Axios.“Like anything that’s going to be really mentally challenging, that’s a 10 o’clock meeting.”
据媒体透露，他说：“我会把高智商会议安排在午饭之前。如果有任何真正烧脑的事情，那就是要在10点钟的会议上讨论的。”
And if an issue presents itself in the late afternoon, Bezos usually will hold off on convening a meeting about it until the next day.
如果下午有任何重要的事情发生，贝佐斯通常不会为此专门开会，而是安排到第二天。
“By 5 p.m., I’m like, ‘I can’t think about that today. Let’s try this again tomorrow at 10a.m,’ ” he said.
他说：“到下午5点，我会说，我今天无法思考这件事。咱们明天上午10点再说吧。”
convene：召集;聚集;传唤
So how does the Amazon CEO stay sharp at his mid-morning meetings? He said that he prioritizes sleep in order to boost his energy and mood. And, when it comes to making high-impact decisions, Bezos said that quality trumps quantity.
那么，亚马逊的CEO在上午的会议上是如何保持敏锐的呢？他说，他最先看中的是睡眠，这样才能使他保持充沛的精力和最佳的状态。而且，当要面临作出重要的决定的时候，贝佐斯认为质量胜过数量。
trump：胜过
“As a senior executive, you get paid to make a small number of high-quality decisions,” he said, according to Axios. “Your job is not to make thousands of decisions everyday. Is that really worth it if the quality of those decisions might be lower because you’re tired or grouchy?”
据媒体透露，他说：“作为一名高级管理人员，你得到报酬就是为了做出一点点的高质量的决定。你的工作不是每天做成千上万的决定。如果因为你累了或者心情不好，而作出的这些决定质量不高，这真的值得吗？”
grouchy： <非正>脾气不好并常发牢骚的，好抱怨的
Bezos concluded that it’s “enough” for him to make around three good decisions every day.
贝佐斯得出的结论是：他只要每天能够做出三个好的决定，就已经“足够了”。
“Warren Buffett says he’s good if he makes three good decisions a year,” he added.
他又补充到：“沃伦·巴菲特说他一年能有三个很好的决定就不错了。”
“Two pizza rule”：The two pizza rule is a guideline for limiting the number of attendees at a meeting. According to the rule, a meeting should never have so many attendees that they could not all be fed with two pizzas. Generally, this limits the number of attendees at a meeting to less than eight. The goal of the two-pizza rule is to increase productivity.
